FIT Books
FIT Books opened its brick-and-mortar store in Orlando , FL , in August 2017 , but the bookstore has been around a lot longer than that . Owner Kevin Adams started FIT Books out of his home 20 years prior while attending seminary . Although it was a legitimate Christian bookstore , Kevin says it was a small operation , mainly selling Bible college textbooks to fellow Bible college students .
Now FIT Books occupies close to 3,500 square feet of sales space in a shopping plaza that ’ s also home to PetSmart , Michaels and a Best Buy Outlet . The store also holds an office and stockroom at that location and rents another 150-200 square feet of storage space .
FIT Books exists to equip the church and engage the community . The name itself stands for “ Freedom in Truth ,” which comes from John 8:32 . “ I ’ ve always been a truth seeker ,” Kevin says , “ So that is one of my life verses .”
At FIT Books , Kevin encourages others to seek truth . “ As a former Bible teacher and minister , I most enjoy helping people find books that will better their understanding of the Bible ,” he says . Kevin also enjoys talking and
